de Sarthe is pleased to present its second exhibition for the artist group Double Fly Art Center, titled Double Fly Awkward Pay. The exhibition features a series of videos, performance, and installation artworks that epitomizes the combination of absurdist comedy and critique of the art world that centers the riotous practice of Double Fly Art Center. Double Fly Awkward Pay opens on 21 November 2020 and runs through 23 January 2021.

"Double Fly Awkward Pay is a project based on the fact that the artists are running low on public funding. It is a sort of secret weapon for desperate times, and the goal was not to be vigilantes. A question drove the making of this project: How did we paint so well but still not sell? With that in mind, Double Fly cut apart a 30-meter painting that they collectively created a few years ago into smaller sizes, hoping to exchange them for currency. This action is as if one is doubly negated one's artwork. Doubly fly then made a more deeply layered transaction with the gallery, at a level that can roughly be described as: credit + getting rich*wealth - talent = 0. Double Fly Art Center's slogan this time is: Become a decision-maker in the midst of nothingness!"
